This funding has inspired Care Staff to be trained in how to access Gallery and Museum handling collections and their exhibitions - its great that we are now connecting the two!!
- I have facilitated a training workshop at Salford Museum and will be delivering another at Sunderland Museum and Winter Gardens this week on behalf of the 'House of Memories' project. The workshop i facilitate is to broaden ideas around how to access collections in a multi-sensory and innovative way for individuals with Dementia. This way the Care Staff leave with multiple ideas and a new relationship with community spaces.
